KINGDOM (pre DOMAIN) – Lost In The City ’88 [Digitally Remastered +3] (2021)
Formed from the ashes of Seventies / early Eighties metal progressive Epitaph, German outfit KINGDOM was founded in 1984 with the aim to create a more accessible, commercial rock music. If their name doesn’t ring a bell… they later changed to DOMAIN, releasing some fantastic albums.
KINGDOM debut album “Lost In The City” was released in 1988 by Teldec (East West Germany), a highly melodic AOR / Hard Rock / Melodic Rock mix with a light bluesy foundation. It sounded a bit like Europe, Journey or Whitesnake from the Mk II Phase: diverse, authentic, full of crunchy riffs and solos, enthusiastic keyboard passes and great vocal harmonies. Add to that a touch of US glam / hair metal on a couple of tracks.
After many years out of print, KINGDOM’s ”Lost In The City” is now being reissued, digitally remastered and with the addition of 3 bonus tracks: the killer extended version of title track plus two live songs recorded in 2008 – the band is still active – confirming KINGDOM still rocks with style.
